  Spooky Garbage Bag Cats
by Terri Bose


Make this adorable and spooky cat from plain old garbage bags to display at your front door this Halloween. You can make this fun craft from items you have laying around the house!

You will need:

Black Plastic Garbage Bags (We Used 30 Gallon Bags)
Newspaper
Rubber Bands
Black Electrical Tape
Orange Contact Paper or Orange Paint Marker
String
Animal Face Pattern


If you make this project we'd love to see it! Just send your photos and comments to the editor and it may get published on our Facebook fan page!

What you do

Place a rubber band tightly around the each corner of a garbage bag, about 6" from the end. Stuff the garbage bag with several pieces of newspaper. Rubber band off to form the head. Spread open the banded off sections of the bag and tape down part of each to form the ears.


Cut the bottom of the bag up to the rubber band every 3" to for strearmers.

Use Animal Face Pattern to paint on a face with paint markers or to cut a face out of contact paper and apply to garbage bag. Poke a hole through the top of the bag for a string. Reinforce hole with black electrical tape.
